Abstract:
The Singapore Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Act (“SOP Act”) was passed by Parliament on 16 November 2004 and came into force on 1 April 2005. It has as its main aim the facilitation of payment and cash-flow in the construction industry. This article examines the extent to which the courts will set aside adjudication determinations in light of latest case law developments, and how these decisions are in accordance with the legislative intent behind the enactment of the SOP Act.
